Every single poll since 2014? Now you really are clutching at straws!!! These days opinion poll companies are pretty good at what they do.

What has he to gain by holding a referendum versus just not having one. It would soak up a bunch of time and effort that he would think he would rather spend on other stuff. Even if he wins, so what? As we have seen in the last few years a lost referendum won’t stop the SNP agitating. It may or may not cost Sturgeon her job but do you think any successor would survive as SNP leader if they weren’t pushing for indyref3?
